As has been the case with several offseason trade acquisitions in years past, the Habs have wasted little time getting a deal done with Max Domi, signing him to a two-year, $6.3 million contract.
Marc Bergevin shook up Montreal’s forward unit late on Friday night, shipping Alex Galchenyuk to the Coyotes in exchange for Max Domi.
Centre has been a position of need for the Habs for a long time now. On the plus side, they are starting to accumulate some depth at the position in the minors and amateur ranks.
The Habs have strong depth on the left side up front but can the same be said for the rest of the organization? Our depth series continues with a look at Montreal’s left winger situation.
One of Montreal’s pending restricted free agents is heading for Germany as centre Markus Eisenschmid has signed a two-year contract with Adler Mannheim of the DEL.
No single position has changed as much as Montreal’s defence over the past year. Several newcomers were added in the NHL while they drafted four others last June. Despite that, a lot of work still needs to be done on the back end.
After two poor seasons to start his pro career, Jeremy Gregoire took some steps forward with Laval this past season. Is that enough to warrant a qualifying offer from the Habs this summer?

With the draft and free agency getting closer and closer, Marc Bergevin and his staff will be putting together their wish lists. As we like to do at this time of the year, we take a look at their situation at each position to see what positions the team should target. As always, we start with the goalies.
